The Mytilenian Brotherhood of Sydney & NSW is gearing up for its much-loved Cherry Picking Weekend, set to take place on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 December 2025, with members and friends invited to join a two-day getaway filled with food, fellowship and festive traditions.
The bus will depart Mytilenian House at 6am sharp on Saturday, taking participants to Allambie Orchard in Wombat, Young, where the weekend will begin with a morning of cherry picking and a relaxed BBQ lunch on the farm.
After lunch, the group will continue on to Canberra, settling into their accommodation for an overnight stay and enjoying dinner together.
On Sunday morning, guests will enjoy breakfast before travelling to St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church of Canberra to attend the Divine Liturgy for St Nicholas feast day. Following the service, participants will join the church’s traditional Paniyiri, celebrating the feast day with food, music and community spirit.
Tickets are $270 per person, including transport, meals, accommodation and all activities, with pre-sale seating and EFT payment required.
For bookings, attendees can call or text 0435604433.
The Brotherhood encourages the community to secure their seats early for what promises to be another memorable weekend of culture, connection and Mytilenian hospitality.
